Needle has barely started to move honestly, each upcoming year will be successively worse until we see a generation of dead kids from preventable illnesses, and even then...

I think a lot about the Sagan quote about how we'll drift off, our faculties in decline, into an age of crystal-gazing. It's already happened so bad. I can't watch reality TV, even like the Rehearsal, because by episode 2 there's a numerologist who believes in Satanic murders. Too stupid to live, but happily voting. America.

Every time my brain tries to drift to McDonalds, I'm like "I could go get a Digorno which would be 1/3-1/5 the price" and then just sit at my house eating canned soup or something because I am fairly lazy.

A lot of us keep saying this: every time the word "trans" is mentioned in political debate, you just go "what the actual hell are you talking about when none of us can afford food or medical care?"

Trans rights, while morally correct, are a losing issue politically right now but the solution isn't to hammer on them, it's to completely ignore the narrative and redirect it to something real, that people actually care about (it's the economy, stupid!)

I have to go middle-ground because my stomach learned to drive and will happily drag the rest of me to the candy aisle of the grocery store if I don't have SOMETHING to indulge on, so the indulgence now is often annoyingly healthy like Nutrigrain bars before bed (not actually healthy but compared to a 2lb bag of gummy worms...)

My dad would sometimes loudly comment within earshot of my great-grandmother, "Well, this is a woman who voted for FDR four times" in a derisive fashion, and if she was feeling spicy, she'd yell "I'd have voted for him a fifth time too!"

The Angel's Kiss I think it was known as

Which is why good, decent people struggle in this world.

Air America lasted about 5 years in the 2000s, and it was exactly this. The Republicans would never let their stations die like Air America did.

I was just thinking, my peanut butter doesn't have nearly enough microplastics and forever chemicals

They want to win a lot more than we do. War is just business to us, no one is hyped up about this. For them tho, this is an opportunity decades in the making.

Huh, BK is considered the worst of the worst in my city. Wendy's just above it. Five Guys and Freddy's are both pretty good but I am not sure they're national

Wait you're paying your lawyers? Chump move.
